Updating rendered plot in shiny #580

Hi,

Is it possible to update a plotly graph which has already rendered (in shiny) without rerendering the entire plot? An example usage would be initially plotting a large time series and then wishing to add various annotations without rerendering the entire plot.

Looking online it seems it might be possible with the restyle functionality.
https://plot.ly/javascript/plotlyjs-function-reference/

Was wondering if such a feature is available in R.

Cheers

In theory this is possible with clever use of htmlwidgets::onRender(), but I'll definitely think about a better way to achieve this without having to write JavaScript.

Thank you - I will investigate htmlwidgets

Perhaps, we could look into a proxy pattern similar to leaflet.

DT also provides this functionality through a proxy variable. It'be great to have the same functionality for plotly.
